Description

Ashley Mullenger's memoir is a heartfelt love letter to the sea and the fishing industry, which transformed her life from a clean-cut office worker to a proud commercial fisherman. Her journey began with a chance fishing trip off the Norfolk coast, which sparked an obsession that led to her becoming a 'Fisherman of the Year' and owner of two boats. This memoir takes readers on a vivid tour of the UK's waters, showcasing the bravery, skill, and trust that underpin the industry. Mullenger shares her experiences of working on the boats, battling the elements, and navigating the challenges of commercial fishing. Along the way, she highlights the importance of this industry in our lives and the need to protect it from the pressures of politics, poverty, and climate change. Through her story, Mullenger offers a unique perspective on the world of commercial fishing, one that is both a rallying cry and a love letter to the sea and the people who work on it.
